All I see for recent posts are from the nymshifting troll.

 Nope. I'm still here.

LOL, I think that, like me, many regulars have filtered out the trolls, including the original poster in this thread.
Once you filter out all the trolls, there are not many regular people left. Many Usenet groups have become completely useless due to trolls, but at least this one is occasionally useful
Reddit has displaced Usenet as an online forum to get help. Since it's moderated, though lightly, you don't have all the trolls messing things up. There's also no cross-posting on Reddit so it's harder for the trolls to disrupt things. The advertising on Reddit is annoying, but it's the price that must be paid.
Howard Forums used to be useful for phone and carrier related questions and comments, but so many of the groups were taken over by fanbois it ceased to become useful, plus the organization of the sub-groups is poor.
